TAIPEI, Taiwan—Over 100 European lawmakers and officials are calling on the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) to allow Taiwan to participate in an upcoming international meeting.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed gratitude for the support it received from European countries in a press release on Nov. 1. The call to WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus came just days before the 73rd World Health Assembly (WHA), the WHO’s decision-making body, will reconvene on Nov. 9. The previous WHA meeting was held in May.
